On 27 January 2022, the Oxford Interfaith Forum will welcome Dame Stephanie Shirley at 18:00-19:00 GMT to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Dame Stephanie, a successful businesswoman and entrepreneur in the IT-sector turned ardent philanthropist, will speak of her experience being separated from her parents in 1939 when she (then named Vera Buchthal) and her sister boarded Kindertransport from Vienna to London, and, in the aftermath of these events, of her inspiring ambition and fortitude, leading to an immensely fruitful and groundbreaking career.
